Sicilian Crushing

3...f6 made me cringe. Opening your kingside is asking for trouble and left your e pawn weak. Fortunately, this wasn't an issue. I think 3.. d5 would have been good. Later, your 5 ..d5 was a good move. So was 6... Bd7.

8 Qe2 wasn't bad because the queen was in front of the king. It was bad because it blocked the bishop's retreat if you had played 9.. c4 .

9.. e5 wasn't ?? bad, since it provoked him to move his bishop back to b5 but 9..c4 would have won his bishop. 10.. e4 also made sense since it got him to retreat his knight and left you with a winning attack. It was game over after 11.. Bxh2+

3...f6 is a good move- the only reason to criticise it is that there are better ones, like ...Qc7 followed by Ne7-g6, or simply ...d6 at some time. Anyway, the proper answer to it isn't certainly 4.ef6.

5...d5 is a fine move, and the same goes for 6...Bd7.

"Never put your queen in front of your king". Why?

After 13.Kg3, 13...Qc7+ leads to a fast mate. Your 13...Qg5 could be ansered by 14.d3 (Black is still winning easily).
